Greyhound Logistics

Sometimes fostering requires more of a logical mind and less of a fluffy full of love mind.

Most of the time my hostess and fosters travel sans muzzle. But when I have two boys, fully loaded in the bits, and new to each other? Muzzle city...The other day I had to take one dog (Charlie) to see how he'd be with a really loud squeaky dog, then pick up another one (CeeJay) on the way home. I'll have them both until they lose their boulders, plums, manberries, orbs of feistiness, then CeeJay will come back and Charlie will go and recover at another foster home. So... yeah... organisation. Three dogs in this small house is really too much for Mark, but about 3 too few for me.

About Me

i'm an ohioan by birth, naturalized texan, australian permanent resident. for sh*ts and giggles, i make a mess and walk away, read, knit, foster cat-safe greyhounds, and run or plod. i don't shave my legs often enough, love quinoa, and hate it when people stare at my chest.... they don't, but were they to do so, i'd hate it!

like Threadbared, this is a collection of "what were you thinking" in the knitting sphere. while i am a knitter and love the rebirth it's experiencing, i think there is always the need for editing ideas. and boy do the comments get bitchy!
